Why's everyone on the under on the USA/Australia game?

nice call dayang23. I just didn't see Australia falling into USA hands this badly. I don't get how the commentators kept praising Aussies coach when he clearly had a horrible game plan.

I wasn't going to play it, but since i doubled up on this over, I'll put a lil action on it. I think they're evenly matched teams, although the best player is easily Ginobili. I'm going small on the Greece ml, I would lean to the over, but I'm not going to play it.

They also have Scola, Nocioni as well. I liked how they played together and moved the ball with their big men. I think it's a close game, but Argentina wins by around 10 at the end.

Argentina 82
Greece 72

USA is definitely going to score over 100, Australia has one of the worst defenses in this Olympics, and the way USA is playing right now, they're going to romp Australia. Throw the first game they played out the window. Australias offense ain't that bad either, they're shooting at a very good %, best in 3's and not too far behing in 2 pt goals. Of course USA's defense will cut that down, but they are easily one of the best scoring teams in this Olympics, too bad their defense ain't too good.

Over USA/AUSTRALIA

Please for those of you betting so heavily on the under, explain to me why, I would like to hear your opinions...cause apparently I'm the only one that thinks this is going over...

Great job with this post.
Well written write up.
I was leaning under, read your thread, put major thought into it, decided you may be onto something, and reversed my opinion.
The very essence of what these boards are about.
Well done.

I wish I would've taken the over as well. It would've made for a HUGE payday.
